If you haven't seen the cover of the January/February issue of
Art of the West magazine, please take a look. I fell in love with this beautiful painting, "The Innocence" by Mian Situ and couldn't resist drawing it. I'm trying to improve my drawing skills and understanding of values and color. I notice that when I feel challenged to understand something, my paint application is very controlled. Someday, I'd love to paint more expressively like this. With knowledge, confidence, and miles of canvas I may get there! I hope so.
